OK, So I've had my n800 for about 2 months now and LOVE it. I bought this device while looking at options for a carputer. I was looking to build a carPC that could do wifi, multimedia, and navigation. When I learned about Canola and Maemo Mapper, I was convinced that the n800 could satisfy all my needs for a carPC, with the added benefit of being able to use it outside of my car as well.

That being said, I did some beta tests before looking at mounting options. I found that it was a bit cumbersome (and dangerous) to switch between Canola and Maemo Mapper whenever I needed a little navigational assistence from those helpful GPS satty's hovering high above the earth. I think a great enhancement to these apps would be to have a little GPS icon right there in Canola so that we could switch to GPS view without having to close down Canola (I haven't found a way to minimize within the program) and loose the tunes. To take this one step further, when mapper was running "behind" Canola and a waypoint was approaching, mapper could take over, temporarily mute the music and display the ampping application for a few seconds, then Canola could resume business as usual.

Any thoughts? Should I log this in an enhancement request in the Garage?

PS, both of these apps are GREAT and I truly appreciate all the work that's been done so far, I just thought I would throw my $0.02 in as a user.
